I think these videos sum up the march.
Well after working for over a half a year to pay state, local and federal taxes, you are finally working for yourself. The "Cost of Government Day" is a day where we stop having are money go to taxes and get to have are money in are pockets. This year's Cost of Government fell four days later then last year's and a shocking sixteen days later then in the year 2000. This is just one more arrow pointing toward huge government spending that the United State's President has resided over.
I’ve covered the light bulb dilemma before – incandescent versus compact fluorescent. Incandescent bulbs are not efficient and don’t last long, while compact fluorescents contain mercury, making them a potential health hazard if broken or placed in a landfill. CFL are also made in China.
So I’m coming out on favor of LED technology. While not cheap, look for prices to come down in the next year. You can buy several varieties at ThinkGeek.
If the bank simply closes its doors (locks you out of the
bank), what do you do?
This happened in 1933 when Franklin D. Roosevelt closed the banks from March 6 to March 10.
When banks do re-open, there could be some extra scrutiny--most notably an IRS agent (or a delegated bank employee) looking over your shoulder when you access your money and/or safe deposit box. Don’t believe that would happen, check out these stories – Gold “find” in safe deposit raids and States seize citizens’ property to balance their budgets
By its own admission, the FDIC rates banks
by virtue of their ability to safeguard consumer funds and also their
overall fiscal health. At this point in time there are 90 banks rumored
to be on the agency's watch list. Unfortunately, the FDIC keeps this
list a closely guarded secret and never permits access to the data by members of the general public!
So here are the unofficial lists of failed/distressed financial institutions: Mortgage Lenders & Banks.

Although we typically post on Team Vox to let you know about things that are going on with Vox (to, uh, state the obvious), once in a while, we like to let you know about other cool things that are happening around the blogosphere. And we think the idea of four hilarious mommy bloggers traveling across the U.S. on their way to the BlogHer '08 conference - all the while blogging and video blogging the journey - is one trip you will not want to miss.
Four adventurous bloggers from the Silicon Valley Moms Group were selected to participate in the Summer Road Trip '08 and blog about their travels, hotel stays, media appearances, time away from their families, and life on the road. Six Apart helped them partner up with General Motors, who provided the blogging mommies with a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV to help make their journey comfy, safe, and a little more green.
In case you're not familiar with them, SV Moms is a group of over 200 bloggers who showcase the ups, downs, outrages, struggles, victories, and everyday humor of motherhood. There are currently nine regional and demographically tailored sites that give mothers from D.C., New Jersey, the Deep South, Rocky Mountains, L.A., and Silicon Valley a powerful voice and sense of camaraderie across the country. Whether you're a mother, a child, or just a person who enjoys a good blog, you'll really love reading the words of these amazing women.
The moms buckled into their Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV on July 11th and even got an encouraging message from Katie Couric to kick things off! They are currently somewhere in the middle of America making their way to San Francisco where they'll attend an SV Moms Group Party, as well as BlogHer '08.
You do not want to miss these entertaining and irreverent bloggers -- or their spontaneous contest giveaways! -- as they blog from the road. Experience the journey at MomRoadTrip.com.
And let us know about your summer road trip - or plane/boat/bus trip - in the comments! (I like to live vicariously.)
Since just about everyone drives and has a cell phone, you may want to explore these.
